It would be very nice to have a fallback mechanism, so that it would try /dev/cd0c if /dev/acd0c returns "device not configured", and maybe even /dev/acd1c (a lot of people seem to have a CD-ROM drive _and_ a DVD-ROM drive). But I guess that's asking for too much ... Well, it's probably best to let the default be /dev/acd0c which seems to be the most common one by far. As long as you can change the default via command line option, so you can share the binary between machines with different types of drives, I'm happy with anything. :-) Just my 0.02 Euro.
